If you’re at all familiar with reddit, you’ll be familiar with the site’s Ask Me Anything sessions, or AMAs.
Usually, a celebrity or person of interest will throw themselves to the wolves of the internet and respond to whatever questions are asked of them by the reddit faithful.
Last night, Irish comedian and star of Black Books Dylan Moran took questions on r/IAmA – and reminded us just how funny and likeable he is. The AMA was part of promotion the comedian is doing ahead of his tour of America and Canada across October and November.
These are some of the highlights of the Q and A, conducted by reddit users.
What would your younger self say if you could go back and time and tell him what happens in the future?
I would say, “Get out my room – weird, creepy, fat man.”
How do you escape the existential dread that inevitably sets in around 4pm on a Sunday afternoon?
change the clocks.
Every time I see you walking around Edinburgh you look grumpy and I’m too scared to talk to you. Should I say hi next time?
Definitely not. Trust your instincts. Also I can smell fear.
Dylan whats your opinion on hecklers? Do you hate them for ruining the flow? Or welcome them for the comedic back-and-forth?
I love them for their individual stories. I admire their struggles. Yet some of them need to be killed.
Hi Dylan, in all the stand up tours you have done, which show stands out the most in your memory, for whatever reason?
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what memory is. The words “memory” and “tour” negate each other.
